Cost of an Auto Accident Lawyer

Contingency Fee ("No Win, No Fee") Lawyers

Many people need legal help every day. Unfortunately, many of these people are discouraged from getting professional legal guidance due to what they perceive as a high financial cost for these services. In reality, hiring a car accident attorney may cost you no money up front whatsoever, and their fees are paid for by the court.

Georgia Car Accident Lawyers and Contingency Fees

In Georgia, personal injury lawyers work on what’s known as “contingency fees.” This means that a lawyer’s pay is contingent upon his or her client having some kind of financial recovery at the end of the case. Often, personal injury law firms will provide a free initial consultation, as we do at Morgan & Morgan, to determine if pursuing a claim is worth the time and effort for the attorney and the client.

Most attorneys’ fees are about one-third of the settlement, and sometimes more if the case goes to trial. While this may seem like a lot, it is actually still financially wise to hire an injury attorney. Statistically, the settlement or verdict a client receives with an experienced lawyer is much higher than anything they would have recovered by themselves, even when the attorneys’ fees are subtracted from the amount.

The other cost involved in hiring a car accident attorney is expenses, which cover things like medical records and other fees if you go to trial (expert witness, court reporter, and exhibit fees, for example). The terms and conditions of these expenses can be negotiated in your contract with the attorney.
